Shoulda Been A Star Lyrics

Yeah, I'm back in the hood again, smokin' backwood again

I should be on TV now, shoulda, coulda, woulda been

Was it all for nothin', all that time that I been puttin' in?

That was my best shot, don't know if I can shoot again

But I take it on the chin, put on my Timbs and step out on the corner

Feelin' dead within, will this cycle ever end?

Would call my dad, but the last time, that nigga ain't let me in

Then got the nerve to ask me why this hate is settin' in

I find pain in settlin', need therapy, need medicine

If my grandma caught me with this weed, she'd tell me I had better sense

Gotta hide the scent, they took my brother's life, I'm lookin' for revenge

I learned a long time ago that these niggas ain't my friends

Tired of takin' losses, watchin' these other niggas win

Drownin' in a bottle, tryna wash away my sins

I'm askin', was it me? was I the cause?

Man, I had a dream, but it didn't go too far, man

I shoulda been a star

I shoulda been a star

I shoulda been a star

I shoulda been a star

I shoulda been a star

I shoulda been a star

I'm back in the hood again, smokin' backwood again

I should be on TV now, but that'll probably never happen

I come from a place where you tell your dreams and get niggas laughing

Better to keep it to yourself and make it everlasting

My closest friends love my flows, they use them as some captions

Some old heads will hear me spit and say this youngin' snappin

But I ain't so young no more, my man, you see me out here workin

I lost myself along the way, but I'm still findin' purpose

I know some guys that made it, I swear I never hated

And if I did, I kept it to myself, no conversation

My nigga Earl used to tell me, yo Q, you underrated

Yo, fuck the stars, I'm over here knockin' to the shit that you created

But I know a dude that hit me with flow and he get motivated

And I know a girl that almost did that, but she hesitated

Bro, I been thinkin' about this wrong, I thought I was captivated

Whole time I made it, whole time I made it

Shoulda been a star, what

Already was a star

Bro, I'm a star

Whole time I'm a star

Talkin' bout some, shoulda been a star

I shoulda been a star

Woah, woah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Woah, woah, yeah, yeah, yeah
